Dragon Boat Races

One of the days I was in Grand Marais happened to be the annual dragon boat races in the harbor.  The event kicked off with a parade through town Friday night and the races on Saturday. It reminded me a lot of my outrigger canoeing days and was a lot of fun to watch. Maralee

Lightning Strikes

One night while I was in Minnesota, a fast-moving thunderstorm rolled through.   We could watch the storm unfold through the window in our hotel room. When I was growing up, I loved watching the storms over Lake Superior.  And I certainly enjoyed watching this one. Maralee

A Quail “Couple”

This quail "couple" was rolling around in the dirt in our yard and seemed oblivious to the fact that I was sitting about 10 feet away from them.   I'm not sure why they roll around in the dirt, but maybe its how they clean themselves. Maralee
